Dow Jones Description

Dyadic International, Inc. is a global biotechnology company with the groundbreaking technology that brings nature to the marketplace. Dyadic is focused on the discovery, development, and manufacturing of novel products derived from the DNA of complex living organisms - including humans - found in the earth?s biodiversity. Using its integrated technology platform, Dyadic develops biological products such as proteins, enzymes, polypeptides and small molecules for applications in large segments of the agricultural, industrial, bioenergy, chemical and biopharmaceutical industries. By utilizing a proprietary host organism, Dyadic?s "one-stop shop" technology rapidly discovers and expresses eukaryotic genes ? the genes of complex living organisms ? and then manufactures those unique biological products for commercial application. Dyadic's systems overcome the inadequacy of existing gene discovery and product development techniques, which have limited capabilities to efficiently access the full spectrum of earth's biodiversity. Dyadic?s unique technology virtually ensures that each time a useful gene is discovered, it can also be expressed and then mass-produced. Founded in 1979, Dyadic has significant experience in the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of specialty enzymes and chemicals for the textile, animal feed, and paper and pulp industries. ...
